The last of the three patches that https://reviews.llvm.org/D40348 was
broken up into.
Canonicalize the materialization of constants so that they are more likely
to be CSE'd regardless of the bit-width of the use. If a constant can be
materialized using PPC::LI, materialize it the same way always.
For example:
li 4, -1
li 4, 255
li 4, 65535
are equivalent if the uses only use the low byte. Canonicalize it to the
first form.

This re-commits everything that was pulled in r314244. The transformation
is off by default (patch to enable it to follow). The code is refactored
to have a single entry-point and provide fine-grained control over patterns
that it selects. This patch also fixes the bugs in the original code.
Everything that failed with the original patch has been re-tested with this
patch (with the transformation turned on). So the patch to turn this on is
soon to follow.

In the past while, I've committed a number of patches in the PowerPC back end
aimed at eliminating comparison instructions. However, this causes some failures
in proprietary source and these issues are not observed in SPEC or any open
source packages I've been able to run.
As a result, I'm pulling the entire series and will refactor it to:
- Have a single entry point for easy control
- Have fine-grained control over which patterns we transform
A side-effect of this is that test cases for these patches (and modified by
them) are XFAIL-ed. This is a temporary measure as it is counter-productive
to remove/modify these test cases and then have to modify them again when
the refactored patch is recommitted.
The failure will be investigated in parallel to the refactoring effort and
the recommit will either have a fix for it or will leave this transformation
off by default until the problem is resolved.

As mentioned in https://reviews.llvm.org/D33718, this simply adds another
pattern to the compare elimination sequence and is committed without a
differential revision.
